After Ouyang answered the third question, the people in the classroom reacted differently. Bai Yi pursed the corners of his lips at Cheng Zhichu, Cheng Zhichu coughed lightly, and moved his eyes to the other side, but immediately met Gu Zhen's dark eyes, and immediately Even more embarrassed, I could only stare at the deadly pale face of the female teacher in front of me.
The female teacher's face was stiff and her eyes were covered with white shading.
"last question."
"Do you regret what you did in the past?"
Ouyang's expression changed slightly, and he seemed to be hesitating whether to tell the truth, but in the end he gritted his teeth and admitted his true thoughts.
"I've never regretted it except the last time."
"Not to mention that I got a lot of benefits from Brother Bai, no matter what, I hate Su Ling very much."
"My dad, this scumbag, divorced my mother because of cheating, so the most disgusting thing for me is people who break up other people's families. I admit that I am not a good person, and bullying Su Ling is just to satisfy my selfish desires, anyway, I am I did it, and I recognized it..."
Speaking of this, his voice gradually weakened, and the expression on his face was very complicated, both the ease of telling the truth and the anxiety about whether the female ghost would punish him. He clenched his hands and waited anxiously for the female ghost to follow. something to say.
Cheng Zhichu looked back at Ouyang, with mixed feelings in his heart, pursed his lips and said nothing.
In his opinion, what Ouyang did was of course wrong. Like Lu Jie, he vented his resentment on innocent people because he had been hurt before. Although it was pitiful, it was more hateful.
But why did Ouyang stress that "except for the last time", what happened to their last bullying to Su Ling so that Ouyang would regret it
Could it be... Su Ling's death was related to their last bullying
Thinking of this, Cheng Zhichu looked at the female teacher standing on the podium, guessing that maybe her next question would be related to Ouyang's words.
However, to his surprise, the female teacher's question ended here. She didn't say anything and let Ouyang sit down.
"Huh..."
Ouyang Ru let out a long sigh of relief and sat back in his seat with relief, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Is it alright as long as I tell the truth..."
Seeing that Ouyang passed the question smoothly, while Liang Wenbin, who avoided answering, and Lu Jie, who lied, were both dead, Zhao Xiaopang, who had not answered yet, muttered to himself with a dazed expression.
"Next, student Zhao Xiaopang, please answer the question."
Immediately after the female teacher called him up, Zhao Xiaopang stood up slowly, swallowed uneasily, and said in a trembling voice, "Excuse me."
"Do you know the person in this photo?"
The teacher projected a picture on the screen of an ordinary-looking boy.
"... Recognize, recognize." Zhao Xiaopang carefully identified him for a while and confirmed his identity.
"What is your relationship?"
"He is a student of my first class, and also a classmate of Cheng Xuedi." Zhao Xiaopang said, "Besides, he and I... should be regarded as an employment relationship. I will give him money and let him keep an eye on Cheng Xuedi for me. ."
What
Cheng Zhichu looked back at him subconsciously, Zhao Xiaopang smiled awkwardly at him, but didn't stop his answer.
"Brother Bai initially chased Junior Brother Cheng to report the recovery of Ling... I bribed this Junior Brother and asked him to inquire about Junior Junior Cheng's preferences for me, and sometimes asked him to follow Junior Brother Cheng, so that I could pass on the information of Junior Junior Cheng. Give it to Brother Bai, and take credit in front of Brother Bai."
The female teacher nodded and released another photo.
The background of the photo is a corner of the campus, the time is midsummer, in the shade, Su Ling and the teenager Cheng Zhichu are sitting and eating together, Cheng Zhichu smiled slightly, and seemed to be talking to Su Ling.
"Who took this picture?"
"It was taken by this junior." Zhao Xiaopang said, "the other day he told me that Cheng Xuedi went to find Su Ling and took pictures for me to see, so I quickly told Brother Bai..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Zhichu suddenly realized that the scene around him had changed. The chair under him was suddenly empty. He sat on the ground and felt a wave of heat, surrounded by tall trees and cicadas chirping. , he came to the scene in the photo again.
Su Ling sat alone not far from him and put the lunch box on his lap.
…
Since that day Su Ling knelt down to Lu Jie in front of many people in the corridor, the rumor that he likes Lu Jie has spread wildly in the school. Whenever Su Ling passes the crowd, there are always students beside him pointing out Pointing, looking at him with surprise.
The school's atmosphere is relatively open, and there is no explicit order for students to fall in love, but high school grades, when they are studying, naturally also do not advocate it.
This time the movement was too loud. Although Su Ling was not criticized by the school, the teacher still talked to him several times, and every time he responded with silence.
He couldn't explain the truth to the teacher. Even if he said that he actually hated Lu Jie, the teacher wouldn't believe it, much less that Lu Jie, an innocent "good girl" with excellent grades, had such a vicious heart.
In fact, when he was bullied by Bai Yi, Lu Jie, and others for the first time in junior high school, Su Ling had already reported the situation to the school, but all he got was a reprimand and warning from the teacher, telling him not to slander other classmates casually.
He will never forget the disdainful look the teacher looked at him at that time, just because he was a poor student from a poor family, but he turned his head and greeted Bai Yi with a smile, because Bai Yi's father sponsored a lot of money for the school.
From that day on, Su Ling kept his mouth shut and never mentioned his experience to anyone again.
No one can help him.
Apart from gritting his teeth and carrying it, there is no other way out.
It's okay, he's strong enough to stick with it.
It's just that sometimes... he's really tired.
As if floating in the boundless sea, he was surrounded by boundless sea water, surrounded him, and he might drown in the sea water at any time due to loss of strength.
He had to rely on his own strength to swim to land, and he didn't expect a boat to rescue him. All he needed was an isolated island that would give him occasional respite.
That's all.
Su Ling still remembered that on the first day of high school, he was locked in the toilet cubicle by Ouyang. He was about to miss the opening ceremony. Cheng Zhichu, who was passing by, let him out and showed him a warm and pure smile. , said happily to him.
"Are you also from Class 7? What a coincidence, so am I. We will be classmates from now on."
At that time, he didn't speak, didn't even walk with Cheng Zhichu, but turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
Because he didn't want Cheng Zhichu to see his suddenly red face.
Those were probably the fastest seconds of his life.
But this time his heart beat faster not because of fear, fright and anger, but an unfamiliar emotion he had never experienced before.
… found it.
He found his "island".
Also his light, his dreams, all the best he could think of, and...
people he likes.
Even if he never got a chance to say it.
"Click."
On the back of the teaching building, Su Ling sat on the ground with pursed lips, took out the lunch box she brought from home, and put it on her lap.
He has always brought his own meals from home, but he used to eat in the cafeteria, because then he could see Cheng Zhichu who also came to eat. If he was lucky and the two sat closer, Cheng Zhichu would fight him. Hello.
This is enough for Su Ling to have a happy day.
However, after Lu Jie's incident, Su Ling had to hide in a place where no one was there. In fact, he didn't care about other people's opinions, it didn't matter what others thought of him, but he only dared not guess what Cheng Zhichu would think of him.
What's more, Lu Jie found out that he liked Cheng Zhichu. Although she told him that she would not tell Bai Yi, Cheng Zhichu didn't seem to encounter anything bad during this period of time, but he was still very uncomfortable. Don't worry, you can only stay away from Cheng Zhichu as much as possible, and that photo has long been deleted by him.
He has no right to like people at all.
Su Ling's hand holding the lunch box gradually tightened, her beautiful face was very pale, and her lips were tightly pursed.
At this moment, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from beside him, and when he looked up, his eyes widened in amazement.
"So you are here."
The boy took a few breaths and smiled at Su Ling.
Due to the hot weather, the boy's cheeks were already flushed red, and there was sweat on his head, looking a little embarrassed, but in Su Ling's eyes, this was a very cute and heart-warming look.
"How did you come?"
But no matter how happy she was, Su Ling still maintained her original expression, not daring to show her full of joy, and asked in a very light tone.
"I'm here to find you. I haven't seen you at noon for many days. I'm a little lonely."
The teenager smiled embarrassedly and raised the bread in his hand: "It's nothing important. If you don't mind, is it convenient to have lunch with me?"
"… "
Su Ling's breathing stagnated, almost unable to control her expression. He looked around, and after confirming that no one was there, he finally couldn't resist the temptation to be alone with the boy, and nodded lightly.
"Great." The boy smiled, sat down beside Su Ling, and tore open the bag of bread in his hand.
"...you just eat this?"
After a brief silence, Su Ling couldn't help but ask.
Even if he knows that he doesn't look like someone who cares about this kind of problem, if it's someone else, he really won't pay attention, but this is the person he likes, so even if it's a small thing, he will take care of it all Take it to heart.
And he actually wanted to ask before, why the boy always took bread as his lunch.
"It's too hot, I can't eat the food in the cafeteria, it's oily and unpalatable." The boy pursed his mouth and said again, "I like to eat sweets, and I can eat sweets on such a hot day."
This is not a good habit, you always complain that you are short, you are such a picky eater, your appetite is small, how can you grow taller.
Su Ling was silent for a few seconds, but she still didn't say those words and opened her lunch box.
But he was helpless, because he thought such a boyish boy was really cute...
"Your meal looks delicious today too."
The teenager took a bite of the bread, his eyes fell into Su Ling's lunch box, and he let out a vague admiration, looking quite envious.
Su Ling made a move and wondered if it would be awkward if she pushed the meal over, when she heard the boy say again, "I really envy your mother for making you such a delicious meal every day."
"… I did it myself."
"Huh?? You yourself??" The boy's eyes were rounded, his cheeks were stuffed with bread, he looked like a hamster, "Is this too powerful?"
Su Ling didn't speak, and the boy got used to his indifference, swallowed the bread, and continued talking to himself.
"Whoever is with you will be very happy..."
Su Ling's heart skipped a beat, and the hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.
"Although I have never said it before, I have always felt that you have many advantages." The boy said with a smile, "You study well, you are handsome, you are tall, you can cook, and you are so careful..."
Hearing his sudden compliment, Su Ling was at a loss, her heart was beating fast, her fingers folded slightly, sweat was oozing from her palms, and she suddenly felt an unprecedented nervousness.
"so… "
Having said this, the young man paused for a moment, and then said: "Don't care what others say, you have the right to like anyone, and you deserve to be liked by anyone, even if that senior sister rejects you, you..."
Su Ling's brain hummed, and his heart instantly fell into the ice cave.
He suddenly stood up, the lunch box tumbled to the ground, the rice inside was scattered all over the floor, his chest heaved violently, his eyes were slightly red, and he stared at the young man with anger and pain in his eyes.
"You came to me... just to tell me this?"
This was the first time that the young man saw such a violent reaction from Su Ling. His face turned pale, and he realized that he had angered Su Ling.
He also witnessed that scene with his own eyes that day, and later heard rumors about Su Ling. He felt sorry for Su Ling, but just wanted to tell Su Ling that he was really good. He didn't need to care about other people's eyes. There are better girls waiting for him.
But he was self-defeating, making Su Ling even more painful... What the hell did he do...
"sorry… "
The young man lowered his head deeply and apologized to Su Ling in a panic.
Su Ling's breathing was slightly stagnant, and her heart, which was already aching, seemed to be punctured in an instant, gurgling blood, and dense pain.
It shouldn't be... How could he be angry with the boy, he clearly knew that the boy was just concerned about him and wanted to comfort him, and he should have been grateful to him.
But when he learned that the boy thought he liked Lu Jie, at that moment, he couldn't control his emotions at all.
—How can you think that I would like someone else…
- It doesn't matter who misunderstands me, but only you, please don't misunderstand that I will like others...
-Because the person I like is you, and I will only like you...
Unable to restrain his inner emotions, Su Ling suddenly grabbed the boy's shoulder and asked him to look up at him.
The boy's shoulder was pinched so painfully, his eyes were full of helplessness. He wanted to continue to apologize to Su Ling, but he was so shocked by Su Ling's suppressed eyes that he forgot to speak. down his figure.
"I don't like Lu Jie, and I don't like anyone else."
Su Ling stared at the young man's clear eyes, as if he had been looking into his heart.
"The person I like is-"
"Buzz-buzz-"
The vibrating sound of the mobile phone suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two, and at the same time there were faint footsteps, which made Su Ling's face change slightly, and immediately let go of the boy's shoulders and hid behind a tree to avoid being seen. He is with the boy.
The footsteps disappeared after a few seconds, and no one really came. The young man glanced at the tree where Su Ling was hiding, hesitated for a moment, and answered the phone first.
"Hello? Ah, hello senior... Is there something urgent now? Okay, okay, I'll go over right away."
The boy put away his cell phone, his expression was a little low, and he said with a murmur.
"I'm sorry, Su Ling, a senior is looking for me in a hurry. I have to go there now, so I'll go first... I'm sorry, I'll apologize to you again later. I'm sorry to make you angry, but I'm sorry. It doesn't really mean anything else."
After saying this, he turned back and walked three steps, as if he was still very worried.
Su Ling leaned against the tree trunk, his body slipped down little by little, squatted on the ground and curled up, burying his face deeply into his arms.
… He almost said it just now.
How is this possible? How could he say...
Absolutely not, he can't say, can't be known by Bai Yi.
What's more, he couldn't imagine how the teenager would react, he couldn't bear any possibility of being hated by the teenager.
…
The boy hurried to a lounge, where Bai Yi and Ouyang were waiting for him.
Pantingly, he pushed open the opening of the door, and said intermittently, "Xue, senior, I'm here, do you need me to help with anything?"
"You don't have to run so fast, the weather is very hot, be careful of heat stroke."
Bai Yi walked over, touched his head, handed him a wet towel, and let him wipe the sweat off his face, then smiled and said, "Actually, it's a matter of urgency, but it's not very urgent, I just want to A surprise for you, you see."
He pointed to the table, where a plate of strawberry ice cream cake was braving the chill of white flowers, which suddenly caught the boy's attention and blurted out, "Is it the limited edition ice cream cake ordered by Belize?"
"That's why I asked you to come over immediately, and it will melt after a while."
Bai Yi smiled and said softly, "I know you like sweets, but you tend to lose your appetite. Thinking that maybe you will like it, I went to buy it."
"But this will take a long time." The boy raised his head in surprise, "Senior, you..."
"Fortunately, there were not too many people when I went." Bai Yi smiled slightly, "Probably because today is a working day."
Ouyang on the side heard what he said and was about to speak, but was given a warning glance by Bai Yi, so he had to shut up.
He really can't understand what Brother Bai is thinking more and more recently.
Ouyang thought in confusion.
That store was super popular, and the queue was almost queuing outside the store. It really took a long time. When Brother Bai saw so many people, his face immediately turned black. He volunteered to line up for Brother Bai, but was stopped by Bai Yi Booming to the side, I had to stand by and watch.
When queuing up, he heard Bai Yi frown more than once and whisper.
"Why waste so much time on it?"
He felt the same way, why wait here? ? And they still came here specially after skipping classes. What are they doing in this stupid queue if they don't take classes well
Damn, they also skipped math class. Brother Bai doesn't care. He studies well and can understand after one less class, but he is the kind of math class who bends over to pick up a pen and doesn't know where to talk when he gets up. Scum!
Thinking of this, Ouyang couldn't help cursing Zhao Xiaopang crazily in his heart. When will this fat fat man come to report badly? He has to run before the math class to say that Cheng Xuedi likes this store's favorite ice cream cake every weekend. I queued up to buy, but Brother Bai immediately asked for leave without hesitation and left.
He gritted his teeth and followed, thinking that it was working time, there shouldn't be many people, and the math class would not be delayed, but when he got there, he realized that he had seriously underestimated the popularity of this store. How could there be such a thing? many people…
At that time, Ouyang's face was a little distorted. Seeing Bai Yi's expression was not very good, he couldn't help feeling happy, thinking that Bai Yi would give up the line, but he just watched Bai Yi walk to the end of the line with a cold face. , obediently lined up.
"Why waste time on it?"
At this time, Ouyang heard Bai Yi say this again, and almost knelt down for him - brother, if you are so impatient, I beg you to leave quickly, why are you still waiting here? !
But by the time the math class started, Ouyang was already numb and calm, and felt as if he had figured out what Bai Yi meant - it must be that Brother Bai wanted to "inadvertently" let Cheng Xuedi know how hard he was queuing, and win the younger brother with hardship good feeling!
So consciously understood the main point, Ouyang immediately took out his mobile phone and took several pictures of Bai Yi waiting in line, ready to show to the teenager.
However, when he walked out of the store, Bai Yi, whose face had never gotten better, glanced at him and said lightly, "Don't tell Zhichu any unnecessary things."
"Huh? Oh..."
Ouyang replied a little blankly, feeling that he had understood it originally, but now it seems that he doesn't understand it anymore-Isn't it for the sake of gaining goodwill with a bitter trick, why didn't he say it again
Also, Brother Bai used to shout "Cheng Zhichu" and "Cheng Zhichu" behind Cheng Xuedi. When did he become "Zhichu"...
However, all of this is not the most painful thing for Ouyang today, but the sudden call from Zhao Xiaopang.
"Brother Bai, Brother Cheng went to find Su Ling, he is having dinner with Su Ling!"
"… "
Ouyang almost fell to his knees by the look on Bai Yi's face at that time.

Bai Yi's Diary Part 56
I hate Zhichu focusing on other things.
If this "thing" were a person, I would hate it ten times as much.
If this person was still someone I hated (including those "me"), I would want to kill.
… Only a kiss from Zhichu can comfort me.
The author has something to say: don't say it, everyone knows that some people are dreaming.
